LOL!! :D I've been wondering whattaheck that bush was called again. If I ever make a movie, it will have tumble weed rolling in it. It is the funniest thing nature has come up with, ever. Id love to get a tumbelweed animation for situations like theese. ;)

You would have loved the web site a couple of guys created and tried to convince everyone it was the best - cept at the time it was empty.
EVERYBODY just posted pics of tumbleweed it was a scream :)
If you ever DO find an animation ( or make it ) I'd want a copy :)

the 4wd in the new Alfa 159 will also be a 60/40 with a Torsen Differential .

im confused, the reason why those cars understeer is not cuz they have 50/50 torque distribuition its cuz of weight distribution
the quattro awd system uses torsen diffs which shift torque B4 slip actually occurs, unless the system was STUCK at 50/50 the awd drivetrain should not affect under/over steering characteristics
is there any possible way you could enlarge that pic of get a psd file
i can't read it my res is too small lol
looks very interesting though........

Wow, I read the magazine Automobile the other day. They were doing awards for the best car for design, technology ect. Audi won technology with their new Automatic tiptronic gearbox. It's a very good article, they call it the Manualmatic. Keep up the good work Audi.

The street I live on is Tumbleweed. Anyway I would rather have 40/60 AWD as I think that it would give better acceleration.

it really wouldnt give any better acceleration since the torsen diffs will shift torque before any slip actually occurs (except for off the line starts), and under acceleration and none of audi's cars have enough torque to spin the wheels once you're moving at speed
the front/back bias is really only important if it's a locked ratio, the amount of torque the diff can shift to either end is a much more important factor in traction and handling
